ARM: bootm: fix default uImage placement
For small systems we would put the zImage at 32KiB after the start of memory, and put the DT a bit after the uImage. The kernel will always try to relocate itself and overwrite the DT. Try to be more clever at uImage placement to avoid triggering the kernel relocation. Signed-off-by: Lucas Stach <l.stach@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
